  • L b 28.5mm
  • L c 6.5mm
  • h a 1mm
  • h b 2mm
  • h c 2mm.
  • This simulation reveals that the second signal grounding pin 306b adds two closely-spaced resonant frequencies to the simulated spectrum around 2GHz, which significantly increases the bandwidth of the low frequency range from about 250MHz to about 500MHz.
  • This graph reveals that the multi-band slot-strip antenna 300 has an actual low frequency range that extends from 1.67 GHz to 2.34 GHz.
  • the introduction of the second signal grounding pin 306b significantly enhances the multi-band performance of the multi-band slot-strip antenna 300.
